To fill a tank, 25 buckets of water is required. How many buckets of water will be required to fill the same tank if the capacity of bucket is reduced to two-fifth of its present ?

To fill a tank, 25 buckets of water is required. How many buckets of water will be required to fill the same tank if the capacity of bucket is reduced to two-fifth of its present ? Correct Answer 62.5

Let the capacity of 1 bucket = x.

 

 

 

Then, capacity of tank = 25x.

 

 

 

New capacity of bucket  = (2/5)x

 

 

 

Required no of buckets = 25x/(2x/5)  = 62.5

Three pipes x, y and z can fill a tank A can fill it in 4 minutes. Two pipes p and q are connected to tank B. how much time does it take for both tanks to run at the full capacity? Ratio of time taken to fill tank A by P and time taken by x to fill tank A is 2: 1 and ratio of time taken by Q to fill tank B and Z to fill tank A is 5: 3. Pipe P is 20% more efficient then pipe Q. and pipe Y takes 12 minutes to fill the tank. Capacity of tank B is 3/4 times of tank A. Note: Tank B is to be filled only after filling tank A. Valves of pipe p and q are closed once tank B is running at full capacity.
The given pie chart shows the percentage distribution of the number of buckets sold by a grocery store on different days of a week. And, the number of red buckets sold by the same grocery store on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday is 225, 150, 175, 75 and 50 respectively. Total buckets sold (in a day) = Red buckets + Green buckets Total buckets sold by a grocery store in the given days = 1250 What is the ratio between the total number of red buckets sold on Wednesday and Thursday together to the total number of green buckets sold on Thursday and Friday together?
Two pipes are connected to tank 1 and one pipe connects tank 1 and tank 2 at the bottom of both tanks. At first pipe A and pipe B will filling tank 1 and then pipe C would be opened to fill tank 2. Capacity of tank 1 is twice capacity of tank 2. Pipe C takes 8 minutes to fill the whole tank 2 wherein discharging capacity of pipe C is 62.5 liters per minute. Ratio of time taken by pipe A and B to fill the tank when operating alone is 4 : 5 then find approximate discharging capacity of pipe A and B in liters/ minute if both the pipes discharge equal amount of water in tank. Time taken by pipe A and B to fill the tank 1 is 20/ 3 minutes
There are 2 taps connected to a bucket. One tap flow hot water and other tap flow cold water. Hot water tap can fill the bucket in 15 min and cold water tap can fill the bucket in 10 min.
